Here is my newest bird feeder (under construction).

I've had this idea for a while but this morning when I saw a neighborhood tree coming down I stopped and offered them $10 to throw this in my trunk.You gals could have done just as well with a sweet smile.

Anyhoo, the reason for this post is to get the benefit of all your creative thinking. What do I do with this thing now that it's sitting on my deck waiting for action?

Do I use it horizontally like a log or should I mount it vertically? If vertical, do I level the top? Trim the sides? Do I smear $100 worth of peanut butter on it or should I just fill the crevices with BOSS? Anything as good or better than BOSS? Drill holes in it? etc,etc. What would you do?

All I know for sure is that it will be a better and more natural platform for bird pics than a homely suet cage.

Thanks, in advance, for any of your thoughts.

P.S. I'll be AWOL 'til my TV Football is over.
